I was talking with my dad on the phone the other day and I was asking if they already saw the video I sent them about Mikka reading a simple book.

He was pretty upset with me because he said all he wants is to see Mikka and I only video'd her reading the book focusing on the words she was reading. Suffice to say, I didn't take clips of her face. He said he wants to see his grandchild's face. Yeah, he has a good point.

So now, I had to re-take a video of the kiddo reading but this time I had to show her face on the camera as well as the words she's reading. It's a bit of a challenge but it's worth the shot.

Anyhoo, this is her reading "Crab Trap" from the same pre-reader series of books I got online. She's really into these books compared to the BOB books we got her a while back. These books have better illustrations that kept her interest. Plus the fact that these come with stickers that your kid could put on the book everytime he/she reads the book on his/her own from beginning to end. It surprises me how good of a motivation it is for my 3 year old.

She is gaining a lot of confidence reading these books on her own. She didn't even want me to help her anymore. She said she's reading it for the baby inside mommy's belly. She calls the baby "my baby sister" although we didn't know if it's going to be a girl or a boy. Hahahahee :)

Hope you enjoy this video as much as we do. We are so proud of our little sweetheart.
